SAN BERNARDINO — Jurors in the Luke Kang trial heard lawyers’ final statements Monday before they started deliberating on whether the defendant was responsible for killing his mother with a golf club last year.

The prosecution and the defense both presented their sides of the law and focused on specific points from the first phase of Kang’s trial.

Kang, 28, is suspected in fatally beating his mother on Feb. 22, 2012 at their home in the 11500 block of Stoneridge Drive in Rancho Cucamonga.

He has pleaded not guilty to murder and assault by reason of insanity.

Deputy District Attorney Karen Schmauss told the jury that Kang had intent to kill his mother based on his actions that day – he came home in a bad mood, hit his mom, ran into the garage, got the golf club, hit his mom again and only stopped when his father him away.

“Not just once, not ‘oh my God, what have I done?’ He hit her repeatedly,” Schmauss said. “He didn’t hit mom in the leg, he hit mom in the head.”

Schmauss was arguing for the jury to chose first degree murder for Kang.

But defense attorney Gary Wynings, who wants the jury to downgrade the charge, said Kang never intended to kill his mother that day.
